ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring relative channel delay between components of a video signal includes removing a local mean from each of the pair of input component signals and cross-correlating the resulting pair of input component signals. A mean is removed from the cross-correlation and a centroid for the cross-correlation is found within a region bound by nearest zero-crossing to a peak in the cross-correlation. The centroid is then converted to a delay time as a function of sample rate after removing a sample offset. Also a normalized peak value of the cross-correlation provides a figure of merit for the probable accuracy of the delay measurement.
